This study sought to explore perspectives of practitioners dealing with the issues of IPV within Muslim community, in a city in the North of England. The study explored the practitioners’ perceptions of the factors considered to produce IPV in this community, and ways through which culturally sensitive services can be provided. One key outcome of the study was the development of appropriate strategies to support IPV victims in a culturally appropriate and sensitive manner.
